Writing Has Begun On Giant Shark Movie ‘The Meg 2’

Last summer Jason Statham went head to head with a Megladon in Meg (review). Not long after Meg opened in theaters it was announced that a sequel was in the works. During a recent press junket for the upcoming reboot of Pet Sematary Cinemablend asked producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura for details about where the sequel stands. Bonaventura stated that what’s important is that the sequel, simply titled The Meg 2, have a good script which is currently being written. We’re working on a script. Yeah. So you never know until you get a good script…I was very thankful that the audience got that we were just trying to have fun, [and] not take ourselves seriously at all. Back in October at the U.S.-China Entertainment Summit in L.A. executive producer Catherine Xujun Ying made the following statement: [A sequel is] definitely the plan.

‘Los Angeles Shark Attack’ Aims To Make Sharks Scary Again

Sick of goofy shark movies like Sharknado? Award-winning filmmaker Dustin Ferguson aims to make sharks scary again with his upcoming film Los Angeles Shark Attack. The beaches of Los Angeles have been the scene of several recent grisly mutilations. With the bodies drenched with water and scars not resembling any modern street weapon, the Police begin to suspect it’s a rogue Shark. With the Grand Opening of a new beachside resort quickly approaching and the bodies beginning to pile up, it’s up to Marine Biologist Rebecca Mattei (Brinke Stevens, “Slumber Party Massacre”) to crack the case and help local authorities capture the animal before it’s too late. The director who is behind over 60 horror films, has multiple other films coming out this year including the documentary The Party’s Just Begun: The Legacy of Night of the Demons, Home Videos 2, RoboWoman, Ghosthouse, and Nemesis 5. Los Angeles Shark Attack is currently running an Indiegogo campaign featuring killer perks like

Get Ready To Sink Your Teeth Into ‘The Meg 2’

The Meg (review) made waves earlier this year bringing in $527.7 million at box offices worldwide. So, it’s no surprise that the second installment is circling and getting ready to swim into production. Producer Catherine Xujun Ying and star Jason Statham have confirmed that the movie is coming. Both Statham and Bingbing Li are returning for the sequel. It’s still in the very early stages, but we’re working on it.” As for what the next movie will be about, Yung couldn’t reveal any specifics and only added, “We’re trying to keep it secret at this time.” With that being said, a giant prehistoric shark, or two, will more than likely be involved.” Ying has said. The Meg was based on Steve Alten’s 1997 novel Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror. Alten has already published seven other books in the series meaning we could see a lot more of the franchise. But let’s be honest, who doesn’t love giant sharks and

‘The Meg’ Sinks Its Teeth Into A New Poster And Featurette

The Meg has unleashed a massive treat for fans awaiting it’s August arrival in theaters, a new featurette that includes new footage, a behind-the-scenes look, and a brand new poster (above). From director Jon Turteltaub, based on novel series by Steve Alten, The Meg follows “A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own

Movie Review: ‘Open Water 3: Cage Dive’ Stinks Worse Than Fish Bait

I will be the first to admit that I love anything that involves sharks, so I was excited when I learned that the next film of the Open Water franchise, titled Open Water 3: Cage Dive, was out on DVD. Written and directed by Gerald Rascionato, the film centers on a group of three friends, played by Josh Potthoff, Megan Hill, and Pete Valley, doing stunts to make an audition tape for a reality show. The group boards a shark cage diving tour in hopes of getting great footage for their audition. When a rogue wave takes out the boat they are left drifting in the shark-infested water. After night sets in they magically find an inflatable raft floating by with enough goodies to give them a fighting chance of getting rescued. But that doesn’t last long. My first issue with the movie is that there’s only one thing worse than found footage, found footage with terrible audio and this

The long-awaited sequel to 1999’s hit shark movie Deep Blue Sea is finally headed our way on home video. Directed by Darin Scott (Tales from the Hood), Deep Blue Sea 2 stars Danielle Savre, Rob Mayes, Michael Beach, and Darron Meyer. In Deep Blue Sea 2, “A shark conservationist Dr. Misty Calhoun (Danielle Savre) is invited to consult on a new, top secret project run by pharmaceutical billionaire Carl Durant (Michael Beach). She believes the project, performed at a remote, sea-based facility, focuses on extracting shark antibodies to help work toward cures for human diseases. However, Dr. Calhoun is shocked to learn that the company is using unpredictable bull sharks as its test subjects, and Durant has bio-engineered a shiver of highly intelligent, super-aggressive bull sharks. When science meddles with the time-tested process of nature and nurture, the outcome can be deadly.” Deep Blue Sea 2 arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital on April 17, 2018.
